“Younger Generation” (The Lovin’ Spoonful acoustic cover song) – The Laptop Sessions
Originally posted 2009-11-24 00:33:08. For Lovin’ Spoonful chords & lyrics, CLICK HERE ! By Chris Moore: Hello and welcome to a mind-blowing edition of the Laptop Sessions. You won’t believe that we haven’t recorded a cover song music video for this band’s category… The Lovin’ Spoonful, best known for their early single “Do You Believe in Magic,” are an interesting sixties rock band that developed quite a history in less than a decade of work. From their roots as a jug band, their connection to the folk movement genre, and their eventual electric sound, The Lovin’ Spoonful went on to release some great singles, such as the chart topper “Summer in the City.” The song I’ve learned and recorded for tonight is from the 1968 album Everthing Playing . I chose this song not because it was a favorite of mine, or even one that I’ve known for a long time. I came across this song the other night, and it struck me as relevant to some life changes that one of my friends is going through. You know who you are, and I wish you the best! That being said, I spent a great deal of time researching and figuring out the chords to this song. I compiled my chords post from two different sources, and I’m still not entirely happy with the final transcription. I do think this is as close as I can come, and I think the chords sound good in the song.

He decided to do a show based on the new millennium, which was coming up only a few weeks after the second Christmas show. The cast reluctantly agreed on a date to hold the show- January 1st, 2000. The time was set only twelve hours after the millennium would hit, meaning that even though the cast would be tired, they would give another show a chance.

The White Stripes’ “Under Great White Northern Lights” (2010) – MAYBE SO The White Stripes' “Under Great White Northern Lights” (2010) (March 16, 2010) Review : On their first live album, Jack and Meg White deliver adrenaline-fueled, frenetic performances of some of the best material from their catalog, tearing through each song with a raw energy that displays a simultaneous mastery of and disregard for form.

Hi folks, Jim Fusco here. I’m in good spirits tonight, but I want to explain a bit about my current situation, as there is no new cover song music video tonight. I’ll try for Thursday. You see, the way things are now, I really can’t have too much fun outside of the weekend. The fact is that I’m tired. I can’t seem to stay up late anymore (although, I do) and be functional the next morning. When I try to do things I’m interested in, like work on my music or work on the blog, then I start to slack off on work for my night job, which gets me in both a world of trouble and a BAD mood. And then, that mood carries-over into my day job

For Jakob Dylan chords & lyrics, CLICK HERE ! By Chris Moore: I hope you enjoy seeing me with hair tonight, because as of Wednesday evening, it’s gone! That’s right — I’ve decided to shave it all off. Well, maybe “decided” is a strong word. One of my colleagues, one who offered a great deal of useful advice during my first year teaching, asked me if I would join an English department team for this year’s “St. Baldrick’s” event. I couldn’t turn down an opportunity to join in with my fellow English teachers, and as you may know, it isn’t all that often that someone asks me to join a team! So, off goes the hair in the name of raising money to fight children’s cancer. I’m currently at the bottom of the list of fundraisers on my team (listed online as $0, although I have raised about $65 from staff and students at school that will be added tomorrow)

“Will It Grow” (Jakob Dylan acoustic cover song) – The Laptop Sessions
By Chris Moore: RATING: 4 / 5 stars History will record the New Radicals as a one hit wonder. At best, their legacy will live on in their hit single “You Only Get What You Give,” which nicked the top 40 in the U.S. and reached #5 in the UK. Not bad for their first single.

“Alison” by Elvis Costello – Chords, Tabs, & How to Play
By Chris Moore: RATING: 4 / 5 stars With all the confidence and cohesion that comes across on Live at Hollywood High , it is difficult to believe that this is a document of a performance that took place only a year after Elvis Costello’s debut album was released. One might think that a live album recorded so early in an artist’s career would be a study in a live act finding their sound, featuring a young group aspiring to greatness and working out the kinks along the way. The opposite is true. It is clear that, by 1978, Elvis Costello and the Attractions had been working together closely enough to forge a sound all their own, and one that sounds like it had been planned, rehearsed, and perfected over years of live performances

By: Beyond Embedded: Do laptops cut it on stage? | Current Music Blog
By Jim Fusco: And a Happy New Year to you- I’m Jim Fusco back for another year of the Laptop Sessions. I’m also back with Number 200! That’s right, tonight’s video is my 200th and it kicks off a brand new year of great acoustic cover song music videos here on the most popular music blog that isn’t corporately-owned…well, I can’t substantiate that claim… Anyway, I figured I’d kick the New Year and new decade off right with a New Year’s song in “Ding Dong Ding Dong”, a hit single off of George Harrison’s Dark Horse album. If you’ve heard the original version of this song, you probably wondered why George’s voice sounded so raw and raspy. No, he wasn’t taking vocal cues from his pal (and future Traveling Wilburys member) Bob Dylan. He was actually suffering from a terrible break-up when his wife ran off with his best friend, Eric Clapton. It forced the two friends to not speak for a long time (yes, significant others can change people and break friends apart, that’s for sure), but eventually they reconciled…once she and Eric broke up, too! That’s a fairytale friendship story if I ever heard one. The title track from Dark Horse also features George’s gravelly vocals and it’s actually a nice tool he uses well on these somewhat bitter songs. I mean, George was always one to write songs against the “establishment” (like “Taxman”, “Not Guilty”, and “Devil’s Radio”), but this time, it was a more personal fight. One can only think that “ringing out the old and bringing in the new” has to be correlated to his estranged wife leaving the picture
For Death Cab for Cutie chords & lyrics, CLICK HERE ! By Chris Moore: Hello and welcome to the first all-new Laptop Session of 2010! It is my pleasure to kick off another great year here for the best cover song music video blog on the Internet today. This past year has indeed been a year of changes, of many comings and goings for most of us here, and now we’re setting out to make this the best year yet. There’s a lot to live up to, given the past two years and more of contributions. Still, I think we’re up to it.

** This is the fifth in a five part series of music reviews, counting down from the #5 to the #1 albums of the decade, 2000-2009. As of today, the #1 album has been revealed, along with the complete Weekend Review picks for the Top Thirty Albums of the Decade! ** By Chris Moore: RATING: 5/5 stars Knowing that Wallflowers frontman Jakob Dylan is son of THE Bob Dylan has raised a certain bar for his career in the music industry. And he operates, for the most part, within the confines of genres that his father helped to define — folk/country rock, rock and roll, and most recently on his solo album, solo acoustic music. Especially considering how high that certain aforementioned bar is, the respect I have for Jakob Dylan’s style of songwriting and producing is all the more significant.

For anyone who loves music — who loves albums — as much as I do, the artists and album titles that follow are among the best offerings in the past ten years. Even in a decade that saw a marked decline in physical album sales and an increasing number of rock fans suggesting that good music hasn’t been made for ten, twenty, or more years, these albums are proof positive of the opposite.
